PORTABLE: Can This Portable Speakers Truly Sound Good? Soundmatters FOXLV2
Back in February 2011 I received a press release from Soundmatters regarding their FOXLV2 portable speakers which they dubbed as the “ULTIMATE PORTABLE SPEAKER”. With their claim of having the best sounding pocket-sized stereo speaker in the world, I’m intrigued because from the size of the product, it defies the physics of sonic properties.
However, at the same time their claim of frequency range is quite an oxymoron. They claim their use of “Patented “Twoofer/BassBattery” Technology” results in “Ultra-wide 80 Hz – 20 kHz Audio Range”. 80 Hz to 20 kHz is “Ultra-wide Audio Range”? When a speaker that can do 35 Hz to 40 kHz is not even considered as “ultra wide audio range”, Continue Viewing here. DINGO NEWS: Archos 10" Gen9 101 Turbo 1.5GHZ Dual Core - Multi Media Tablet

VAF Octavio 1 - Boombox for the Audiophile, My most recent purchase and project.
The highly regarded Speaker Manufacturer released the VAF Octavio 1 Speaker dock a number of years ago. If you haven't heard of it before well its about time you did! (no pun intended).
VAF Research have been creating and building amazing quality systems in Australia for over 3 decades. A few years ago I was searching for a quality portable audio system to be the soundtrack for when we go to the beach (on christmas) or for our monthly firetwirling meets in a local park. I came accross the VAF Octavio. I have always wanted to own VAF speakers but could never afford the high (but reasonable) price that this quality equipment sells for. The Octavio was released at $799AUD so was still unfortunately out of reach.
